Red Heart Won the Women’s Choice Award

Thank you to everyone who named Red Heart as America’s Most Recommended Yarn Brand in the Women’s Choice Award research survey! Below is the official press release.

Charlotte, North Carolina – March 12, 2015 – As the leading advocate for female consumers, WomenCertified Inc. is delighted to honor the Red Heart Yarn brand with the 2015 Women’s Choice Award® seal. This award designation is based on a national survey of thousands of women across America who were asked to select the brands they would most highly recommend to family and friends.

“The Women’s Choice Award program works to raise awareness among consumers about which brands are most recommended by women and to honor those brands,” said Delia Passi, CEO and Founder. “By carrying the Women’s Choice Award seal, brands like Red Heart Yarn signify their commitment to empower women to make smart buying choices.”

According to a 2012 Fleishman Hillard Study, today’s U.S. female consumer values the opinion of others and over half of all women consider one of their roles to be that of a broadcaster, responsible for helping others make smart choices. It is not surprising that major brands, like Red Heart Yarn, now focus on delivering a customer experience women will love. The Women’s Choice Award has set the standard for helping women make smarter choices by identifying the brands most recommended and trusted by women, along with those that deliver a recommendation-worthy customer experience.

Ms. Passi says it’s important to note that the award doesn’t just signify that Red Heart Yarn has women’s favor – it signifies that women are willing to recommend it to others. “When a woman is willing to recommend a brand or service to others, it means that business has earned her loyalty. Those are the businesses we wish to recognize for their efforts and commitment to the No. 1 consumer – women,” she says.

“We are pleased to salute Red Heart Yarn for their focus on excellence, a commitment that is recognized by women consumers nationwide,” Passi says.

ABOUT WOMEN’S CHOICE AWARD®

The Women’s Choice Award sets the standard for helping women make smarter purchasing choices. The company and its awards identify the brands, products and services that are most recommended and trusted by women. Additionally, they recognize those that deliver a recommendation-worthy customer experience.

Awards are based on surveys of thousands of women, as well as research conducted in partnership with the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Women are surveyed on what drives the consumer experience for women vs. men.
– 92% of Americans will seek out the recommendation of others before making a major decision (Nielsen Research 2012)
– 9 out of 10 women would ‘definitely’ trust a brand more if it carried the Women’s Choice Award (Medelia Monitor 2013)
– Women are earning, spending, and influencing spending at a greater rate than ever before, accounting for $7 trillion in consumer and business spending in the U.S. (Steven Parker Jr., 2014)

As the leading advocate for female consumers, WomenCertified Inc., home of the Women’s Choice Award, created the first national award based on the ratings and preferences of women. The award provides women with a collective voice. Visit www.WomensChoiceAward.com to learn more.

I use Red Heart Yarn for my grand daughters clothing and blankets. It washes and wears well. The Red Heart Award is well deserved. I enjoy trying all the new yarns. I made safety reflective hats for the girls and fancy skirts with the shimmer yarns. I would like to see a light cotton weight yarn for the summer clothing and a special yarn to make summer hats.

I learned to knit with Red Heart Yarn 62 years ago and I still knit with it today. You do have many more choices of yarn now than back then and I love all I have tried. Congratulations on the Women’s Choice Award.

CONGRATULATIONS on your awards. I have just gotten back into crocheting after many years and have enjoyed your website with patterns etc. I love all the new yarns. I look forward to your emails and updates. Keep up the great work..
Happy crocheter,
Jean

Congratulations to Red Heart for being such a wonderful American manufacturer of quality yarns! Product consistency and company reliability are greatly valued in this day and age of the world retail businesses.

I too love Red Heart yarns There are so many colors to choose from and you can always match an ombre with the solids (maybe the ombres are a little stiff). I know that it is made in USA – but of imported fibers. But that doesn’t stop me,

I wish Red Heart make their Sashay ruffle yarn in the Sea Hawk colors of navy blue and bright green. They make other team colors, but not those of the champion Sea Hawks. They are sure missing out on sales by not having it.

I’ve used Red Heart yarn since I learned to crochet over 30 years ago. I always check Red Heart for the color I need for a project and I love the large selection, but there are some colors that have been discontinued that I absolutely loved and I hate having to turn to other brands to get the specific colors that Red Heart doesn’t carry. But overall, Red Heart is the first brand I got to for any crochet project!

Congratulations! Love your yarn and your commitment to creating a distinctive quality product for many years. I know that what I create using Red Heart yarn is going to turn out fantastic! Red Heart employees deserve a big round of applause for this recognition and achievement! So proud of you!

I adored my grandmother. She crocheted with Red Heart yarn day and night. She made afghns for each of us. I remember shopping with her for Red Heart yarn ONLY! 45 years ago she taught me to crochet and here I am still crocheting with, you guessed it, Red Heart yarn and making afghans and such for my mom, my sons and even our new granddaughter. I think my grandmother would be so proud! ~Sandy Berta

Is the blanket in the award picture and free pattern and what is the name of it and more than that Award well earned I have used redheart all my crafting life….I have been given all brands and few measure up even remotely to redheart.
I wish the original Jamie baby yarn would come back and the solid variegated primary colors of the 70’s too when I was a teenager you could get yellow variegated, red, green, blue and on and on please bring those back when I find vintage yarn that has those I never fail to get many compliments on whatever is made from them…….PLEASE BRING IT BACK!

I love all your yarn and textures. Over 40 years ago when I was single and working my girlfriend Bobbi show me the wonderful granny square, it was so pretty and I got HOOKED on crocheting. I have made many blankets for family and friends .At night while watching the shows on the television, instead of a glass of wine, I grab a crochet hook and yarn and make blankets. To me, its very relaxing and enjoyable. I believe that Red Heart Yarn is the best yarn in the USA.Thank you

CONGRATULATIONS!! A well deserved win!! I truly hoped this Circles in Square Throw would win!!!

This is the pattern I chose to make for my first grandchild…we just recently found out we are going to be grandparents for the first time. We have only one child so this is very exciting news! And, I thought this would be the perfect afghan because the design is so unique for a baby afghan that even if there are a ton of afghans there, at least one will be different… mine!!

I have been using Red Heart for nearly every single crochet project I do. The most recent project was my first larger amigurumi. I used the Perfect Pink to create a pig for my son. Red Heart has variety and quality without being overly expensive. Red Heart deserves this seal. Congratulations!

Congratulations Red Heart!! Well deserved. You always have the best and most affordable yarn for all of us crafters. I love that you are always coming up with new and different yarn and keeping up with the changing times. I always know that I can count on you to keep your yarn priced so the average crafter can afford. Thanks for all the great Yarn!!!!
